A centre open to everyone

Since it was set up as a municipal centre in 1992, Vela Barcelona has been the city’s main sports platform for taking to the sea. Dinghy sailing is the main sport but the centre promotes lots of other sea-related activities, including dinghy, kayak and rowing outings, regattas, paddle surf, stand-up surf, group activities, as well as children’s sailing courses and parties. It also offers advice and hires out equipment.

The pleasure of taking to the sea

Sailing is much more than a sport: it is a way of understanding and enjoying the sea without forgetting the safety measures it demands. That’s why the school’s teachers are qualified instructors trained to teach sailing at every level, from the most basic to competitive sailing, while following the standards set by the Catalan Sailing School.Besides teaching sailing, the centre also offers courses on yachting, windsurf and scuba diving.
